Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

As Rhodes had predicted, Athena's eyes widened immediately upon seeing this divine form, and she even looked at Rhodes with an expression of utter disbelief.

Are you kidding me? This is a body of a god, and, moreover, judging by divine power, Saori Kido believes that this is the divine body of her own Athena.

"This, this is! This is impossible! My divine body should have been completely destroyed!"

"No! This...this looks very similar, but it's not my divine body." Saori Kido immediately sensed something was wrong, even though the divine power aura was the same.

But the other person's appearance was completely different from hers. She had long purple hair, while this person had golden hair.

"This is Athena's divine form, but it is not yours."

"She comes from another universe?" Athena asked.

"That's right, I brought it from another world."

Rod's words left Saori Kido somewhat bewildered. Traveling through other universes, and even making contact with them, was something only an absolute god could do!

“It seems you have many secrets! To travel to other universes is something only an absolute god could accomplish!” Saori Kido said.

What is the concept of an absolute god? This is a power that transcends the will of all gods and the ultimate power. Only a god who can create the universe can be called an absolute god.

"Well, I'd say it was a bit of a lucky encounter!"

“I understand. I will not pry into your personal secrets. As long as you do not want to destroy this land, then there is no conflict between us,” Athena said.

“You can rest assured about that, Miss Saori. I have no interest in your land whatsoever,” Rhodes said.

Not only am I not interested in destroying the earth, I also want to help you deal with Hades, the god of the underworld! And even Poseidon, the god of the sea, if you don't mind, I can help you take care of him too.

“Alright! Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Athena finished speaking and came to the divine body provided by Rhodes.

The body of a god is different from that of a mortal; her body from the mythological era has been destroyed.

Therefore, she can only restore her divine soul through continuous reincarnation, and then upgrade her mortal body through the divine microcosm, infinitely approaching the divine body.

With this divine body, she has the opportunity to restore the body of a true god from the mythological era.

Chapter 379 Awakening the Divine Microcosm, the Will of the Gods, the Divine Cloth

Although the body I've incarnated in is evolving infinitely towards a divine form under the influence of the divine microcosm and the divine soul, it is ultimately not the true body of a god.

I have no chance of ever reaching my peak strength, and there is no possibility of further improvement, but this divine body is completely different!

This body has lost its original soul, and Saori Kido can see that the true god named Rod has been using his divine power to nurture this body.

This body is now filled with divine power and vitality. I can use my divine cosmos to merge my current mortal body with this real body.

Then this divine body will become the most suitable body for him/her, allowing him/her to fully recover.

“Thank you, Mr. Rhodes! I can help you awaken your divine cosmos, but we need a quiet place. Come with me!” After taking the divine body from the ground, Saori Kido said.

It will take some time to fully integrate with this divine body. I must first awaken the divine cosmos of this god named Rhodes.

"Ok!"

The two left Saori Kido's small garden together, and then, led by Saori Kido, Rhodes arrived at the boudoir of this modern-day Athena.

“Come sit here, Mr. Rhodes is sitting next to me,” said Saori Kido, sitting on the bed and patting the cushion next to her.

Rhodes nodded, sat down opposite Saori Kido, and asked, "Miss Saori! How will you help me awaken my Divine Cosmo?"

“Mr. Rhodes! Before I awaken your divine cosmos, I have a question for you. Do you feel like your divine power and soul are about to explode?” Athena asked.

At the beginning of the awakening of the microcosm, divine power will feel like an explosion, whether it is human or god.

“That’s right, I had this feeling when I first came to this world, but I’ve been suppressing the divine power within me and haven’t let it explode,” Rhodes nodded and said.

"Fortunately, you managed to suppress it in time. If it weren't properly guided, you could have easily detonated the divine power within your body."

"Then there's only one fate awaiting you: to explode and die, even your soul will be destroyed," Athena said.

When the gods awaken their inner universe, it is with the help of their parents after they have come of age. As for the first generation of gods, they were born as primordial gods in a perfect state, and they possessed their own inner universe from the very beginning of their birth.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes felt a wave of fear. Fortunately, he hadn't acted recklessly when he first arrived in this world. Instead, he chose to seek help from an experienced god instead of messing around on his own.

"So what should we do next?"

"First, relax your body and sit cross-legged. I will guide you with my own inner universe."

Then ignite the divine power within you, and you must control this divine power, making it burn and explode.

It produces an effect similar to the Big Bang, and then brings order to this chaotic explosion, thereby awakening one's own microcosm, entering the will of the gods, and transforming into a divine microcosm. "Saori Kido explained the divine microcosm to Rhodes in great detail.

It sounds pretty simple.

"Next, I will tell you how to cultivate the divine universe. In fact, the cultivation of the divine universe is no different from that of the human universe."

Both release the energy of the microcosm through combustion, thereby obtaining unimaginable power.

The difference lies in the fact that gods possess far greater innate advantages than humans, so the divine cosmos they awaken is far beyond human comprehension. "Saori Kido began to explain the cosmos to Rhodes in detail..."

“It seems that the awakening methods of the human microcosm and the divine microcosm are not much different. Miss Saori, could you tell me about the strength of the human and divine microcosms?” Rhodes asked.

"No problem. First, let's talk about the human universe. After awakening, we all have a sixth sense and can gain various superpowers, such as telekinesis, controlling various elemental forces, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, teleportation, hypnosis and the like."

The next step to further advancement is the seventh sense of the cosmos, which is the ultimate cosmos. It is a power that only the most powerful warriors can awaken, possessing unimaginable destructive power.

Above that is the eighth sense in the microcosm, also known as Alaya consciousness, the ultimate realm that surpasses the seventh sense, a feeling that transcends life and death.

If a human awakens their eighth sense while still alive, they will be free from the constraints of the laws of the underworld. Humans who have awakened their eighth sense can even rival some weak gods.

The microcosm of God is called the will of the gods. After awakening their microcosm, Gods will possess unimaginable power and easily control all natural laws.

Transcending life and death, becoming an eternal and indestructible existence, even if the god's physical body is destroyed, as long as the god's microcosm still exists, it will not perish and can be continuously reincarnated.

The strength of a god's microcosm varies, mainly depending on innate aptitude, the power of one's own divine strength, and also on acquired cultivation.

Above the will of the gods is the ultimate power, also known as the true power of the gods. It is the power possessed by the ancient gods who created the world, and it is the chaotic power that makes up everything in the universe.

This power can cause the universe to expand infinitely, and can create and destroy all things in the world. The most primordial god at the beginning of the universe possessed this ultimate power.

Absolute God, at the very beginning of every timeline, before the world and gods even existed.

But many creator gods have been born in the void. They are absolute gods. Each of them has the power to create the universe and gods, and to develop mythology. They can be called the ancestors of mythology and creator gods.

The existence that transcends absolute gods is called a super god.

"He is the root of all the universe, the creator of all things, the end of time and space, the supreme god Chronos born from nothingness." Kido Saki explained the levels of gods and the levels of human microcosms to Rhodes in great detail.

However, he did not tell Rhodes about the Omega universe, since even the gods had never seen such a power.

The Athena Exclamation, controlled by the Gold Saint himself, and the Trinity tactic, utilized a portion of Omega's power.

However, this power is extremely difficult to master, and even if one did master it, humans could not achieve immortality like gods.

And the gods are said to be unable to control this power.

“I understand, Miss Saori, so please begin!” Rhodes sat cross-legged in front of Athena, emptying his mind and soul.

Saori Kido nodded, condensing her own divine cosmos at her fingertips, and then gently tapped it on Rhodes's brow.

Boom! Boom!

Rhodes instantly felt his entire body trembling, and at that moment, his divine power began to riot under the guidance of Athena's cosmos.

The divine power of life, chaotic evil energy, chakra power, arcane power, Asgardian divine power, and the power of the ancient Greek gods—all the divine power within his body began to compress continuously, eventually forming a singularity that grew smaller and smaller.

“Mr. Rhodes, now I will help you compress your divine power, continuously compressing it until it can no longer be compressed, and then I will stop.”

The smaller you compress, the stronger the resulting divine cosmic explosion will be, and the stronger the power and divine microcosm you will gain. At this moment, Athena's voice entered Rhodes' ears.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded and began to continuously compress all the power within his body, constantly compressing his divine power, while Athena's cosmos was also assisting him.

“Mr. Rhodes, your physique is extremely strong and contains unimaginable life force. Compress your divine power to the fullest extent, then prepare to generate a cosmic explosion and guide the birth of a divine microcosm,” said Saori Kido.

“I understand!” Rhodes nodded and said.

Suddenly, an incomparably sacred power arose outside the two's room, forming an incredibly sturdy divine barrier. Several weak bronze-level beings outside tried to rush in.

However, they were unable to break through the barrier in front of them. Looking at the earth-shattering aura inside the villa, they could only feel anxious.

"Damn it, what happened? How could you leave Miss alone with that stranger?" the old butler Chen said angrily.

How could these bastards be acting as guards? How could they let a stranger into the young lady's vicinity? What if the stranger is a bad guy?

“I… I also wanted to stay by Saori’s side, but… but Saori let me out. She said the man in front of me was no threat,” Jabu said.

"Damn it, if something happens to the young lady, how can I face the master?"

Just as everyone was extremely anxious, several golden lights flew in from afar, and several men dressed in golden holy armor appeared in the villa.

"What happened? We sense that Athena's cosmos is burning intensely, and there is an incredibly powerful being beside her," Leo Aiolia asked.

"This morning, a strange man suddenly appeared. Ms. Saori asked me to invite him in, and after a conversation, they went into the room. Then this barrier appeared, keeping us outside," Jabu explained the current situation.

“Don’t worry, Aiolia. Although Athena’s cosmos is burning fiercely, there shouldn’t be any battle taking place. If I’m not mistaken, the person inside should also be a god,” Shaka said.

"Why don't we try to forcefully break this barrier?" Taurus Aldebaran suggested.

"No, without Athena's or Lord Bronze Tiger's orders, we Gold Saints cannot act rashly. Besides, it seems that Athena is not in danger at the moment." Mu reached out to stop Taurus, who was about to make a move.

"Anyway, let's wait and see! As it stands, Athena is not in danger."

Others may not be able to see the situation clearly, but the Gold Saints can see it clearly.

Athena placed her finger on the head of a mysterious man, and was doing something with her divine cosmos.

This is clearly not a battle; this male god does not appear to be Athena's enemy at present.

At this moment, Rhodes' body was trembling violently, having compressed all the power within him into a tiny singularity, reaching the limit of his body.

"Now! Mr. Rhodes, explode!"

"Let the singularity of divine power explode! Let your cosmos explode, and then enter the will of the gods." Athena's voice reached Rhodes' ears.

Upon hearing this, Rhodes no longer hesitated and unleashed the singularity within his body, which had been compressed to its limit.

boom! !

It was like the sound of the beginning of the universe, like the truth of the universe's birth. The singularity in Rhodes' body exploded, and Rhodes felt his whole body begin to tremble, even feeling as if he was being torn apart. He could only begin to suppress it with all his might.

At the same time, Athena Saori Kido also began to burn her divine cosmos with all her might to help Rhodes stabilize the divine cosmos that had just been born within him.

This was a profound realm that was difficult to describe in words. Rhodes clearly sensed that all the power within his body seemed to have vanished in an instant.

It merged into his own microcosm, but all the power seemed not to have disappeared, because he could still use it, only the source had become his microcosm.
